How to Catch Florida Snapper Fish

Are you new to the wonderful world of snapper fishing? Well, they are a blast to catch. They are also very tasty. If you have no idea how to go about catching them, then here is some useful info on how you can find these fish and reel them in quickly. Of course, you can always do more research on your own. However, this short article will give you the basics of snapper fishing so that you'll be prepared for when you go out there and start catching them.

Snapper Fishing Gear

So, what is the proper gear for this type of fishing? Well, that depends on where your snapper fishing. You have to consider the depth of water, as well as any hot spots you plan on fishing at. If it is a good snapper spot, then you can use a medium action rod and reel as well as 4-8lb test line. For those who are planning on going deeper, say beyond 100 feet for example, then consider using a heavy rod and reel, as well as 12-25lb line.

Snapper Fishing Depth

Another consideration to make is the depth of water you're fishing at. This means that if you are snapper fishing in shallow depths (less than 100 feet for example), then you should limit yourself to fish that are under 25lbs. This is due to the line capacity of your reel and rod. You can always do more research on this topic if you're unclear about it. What we will say here is that before going out snapper fishing, then you should consider what type of gear is best for you depending on your skill level and the depth of water where you will be fishing at. See, knowing these things will increase your chances of successfully catching snapper fish. See what we mean now?

Snapper Fishing Lines

Now the type of line to use is another consideration. As mentioned above, if you are fishing at deeper depths then you might need really strong lines (12-25lb test). If you're fishing at shallower depths then we recommend that you use a lighter line (4-8lb test). The reason for this is that the lighter line has less chance of snapping when you're reeling in a snapper.
